We recently backed up a forum since we thought the domain was about to expire and wanted to save the posts and such, but it turned out it wasn't close from expiring and we were all happy little negros. Then some asshole comes along and somehow deletes the whole fucking forum. Our 3 admins (including myself) are freaking out since we have no clue what the hell to do.
Help please?
I remember when Bassir and V destroyed TSU
It was probably shitty, so I still love him. wub;
Also, ask Bassir.
He may of.
And no, it wasn't shitty. I loved it. It was like boyah except not as many assholes.
Do you have the database saved?
Yeah. Our host is hostgator, if that helps at all.

Did you back up both the .sql database and the physical directory of the forum?
I don't think the latter is required, but you'd have to install the themes, emotes, mods, and such again.

I'm pretty sure just the .sql database.
Which sucks because I spent about an hour and a half uploading a new set of emotes a few nights ago gonk;

Well, be glad that the posts, PMs, and all of that shit was saved.
Try to import the database into MySQL again.
Allright, thanks dude. I'll have to ask Koopler since he's the one with everything saved.

No clue. I'm not the one who backed it up.
If you mean the forum, we had just over 100K posts and I think 300 members.
look what happened http://ifca.tv/forums edumacate;

I want to know how big the .SQL file is before I can confirm it's a legit backup.
Oh, then i couldn't tell you since I'm the only person who didn't back it up edumacate;
stupid stupid me
I suggest you direct them here.
I know. I was about to, but Koopler signed off msn right when I was going to send him the link.
Thanks JMV.
Sorry, but in response to Bassirs question, we have multiple files backed up that range in 10-13mb, but our most recent is 12.5mb.
good?
Our database is 131 mb. doodthing;
I'm pretty sure that I'm only backing up the barebones forum with nothing else.
And you have a wiki baddood;
so, can someone explain to me what should be done next?

Wiki database is separate from the SMF database
Quoteso, can someone explain to me what should be done next?
Is the file gunzipped or something?
Oh, well idk what's with the huge size difference.
Um, I'll have to ask about that.
